Lemon Meringue RECIPES VICKI RAVLICH-HORAN | IMAGES ASHLEE DECAIRES
To be truthful, the classic lemon meringue is a tricky tart. The cook needs to master pastry and blind baking. While the filling is reasonably simple, you have to add meringue to be baked on top—no mean feat! While I’m a fan of the tart lemon contrasted with the sweet meringue flavours, I personally think the traditional lemon meringue pie has room for many improvements, both as a cook and the eater. My version of a lemon meringue tart has a crumb base. And instead of having to bake the meringue in the oven, it’s piped on at the end, giving you more presentation options and a lot more chance at success.
